Sources & Methodology
- GLP-1 participation: Gallup, "In U.S., GLP-1 Usage Reaches New High" — 11% of U.S. adults reported currently taking a GLP-1 for weight loss in 2026. View source
- Medication cost: National Library of Medicine review reports estimated U.S. commercial annual net prices of approximately $8,000–$9,000 for obesity GLP-1 medications; the calculator allows a $5,000–$15,000 planning range. View source
- Productivity impact (no assistance): A peer-reviewed economic analysis estimates obesity-related absenteeism at $1,755 and weight-associated presenteeism at $2,427 per employee annually ($4,182 combined). This calculator applies that combined productivity estimate to modeled GLP-1 participants; it is a proxy, not a direct GLP-1-specific cost. View source
- Turnover risk & cost: SHRM reports that the cost of replacing an employee ranges from 50% to 200% of annual salary, depending on role and experience level. This calculator uses a conservative 75% midpoint. A 2026 NIH study finds that 17.8% of GLP-1-eligible employees actively seek new jobs when coverage is denied, with high-income employees ($150k+) showing 2.5x elevated turnover risk. Conversion research (Gallup and BLS data: 51% job seekers vs. 2% actual quit rate) indicates 25-30% of active job seekers actually depart; this calculator uses a 27.5% midpoint. Additional impacts include 80.6% reporting diminished employer perception, 49.4% feeling devalued, and 65.2% experiencing severe burnout within one month of coverage denial.
